Old-Time Hirer Trade. EVERYBODY USED TO DEPEND WHOLLY ON STEAMBOAT TRANSPORTION I One of the most difficult problems the old citizen can be asked to solve is the present position of the river to ward the commerce of the city. A quarter of a century ago, says the St. lx)uis Globe-Democrat, it was every thing. It was both the feeding and distributing artery. People engaged in building, locating for life, could sec prosperity only near its waters. Ad vised that business would soon be going west they could only respond by the quesion s "Do you sc that rivet? Is it going to move ?" Created av enues of trade were just beginning to receive attention, due to the rivalry of other points which were not blessed with a natural highway. The posses sion of this nature-given avenue of commerce had, in fact, made the aver age St I-ouisian neglectful and dis dainful of the created avenue. Life that did not begin and end on the river was not worth talking about. The man who wanted to co to (.'aim. Memphis, Vicksburg or New Orleans' never tnougnt ot rail. The palatial river steamboat was the accepted means of travel. Peonle coin? east. even, at one time took a river steamer to Alton, i he levee front was the scene of nine-tenths of the life and activity of the citv. The "mnncr" was the most persistent and irresistible ot his class, lie "ran" lor the steam er as well as the hotel. I le would almost kidnap a person to cet him to his steamer or to his hotel.

Atlantis was a continent supposed to have existed at a very early period in the Atlantic ocean, "over against the pillars of Hercules, but which was subsequently sunk in a cataclysm of which history gives no record. Plato is me nrsi wno gives an account ot it, and he is said to have obtained his in formation of some Egyptian priests witn whom he had come in contact. Plato's account says that Atlantis was a continent larger than Asia and Africa put together, and that at its western extremity were islands which af forded easy passage to a large continent lying still beyond this last mentioned continent being now supposed to be south America. Nine thousand years before the time of Plato, according to the tradi tion, Atlantis was a powerful, thickly settled country which extended its sway of Africa and the major portion 01 what is now Europe, "even to as far as the Tyrrhenian sea." Further progress of the invasion of the Allan tides was checked by the combined efforts of the Athenians and the other Greeks. Shortly after the invaders were driven from the continents of Europe and Africa a great earthquake shook Atlantis from center to circum ference. First the outlying islands sank, then great areas of the main land. Waves ran mountain high across hundreds of square miles of what had the ky before been fertile fields. Great temples were "racked and riven" and the affrighted populace climbed upon the ruins to escape the encroach ing waters. On the second day, after a night of terrors which no pen could describe, the earthquake shocks were of greatly increased violence, ending only after the entire continent had been engulfed. iSt. Luuis Republic.

The northern haif of the island of P.omeo is the queerest and most un- tat,sfa:tory place to live that one can imagine, thinks the St Louis Globe-, JJcmocrat. It is a land of constant recurring phenomena. whir rvrlm. are frequent and deluges of water very summon. ine vegetation in that ha I very fine, but in all nmh.iSilitv ih wildest and most tangled on earth noi, even excepting mat ot Africa. The cause of all the trouble is- the shallow onilition of the sea north of it, great hoals of sand exLtinir a few milea nut which extend along its entire northern length. 1 nesc shoals are covered by a depth of water not over five feet deep. The constantly that blow in that climate change to nurricanes and sweep the smaller islands of all visible life. When such a storm strikes the sand shn.il north of Uorneo it sweeps up the shallow salt water in its course and drenches the island with it. Often it gathers up sand, great masses of it, from the clearswept shoal and whirls it for miles high over the island, earruimf it into the island and scattering it every- wnere. tne work ol these storms docs not al.vays end with that. En tire shoals of fish, of all sizes, have been swept up time and again by the fierce wind with the water and sand and scattered about P.nrneo. In some places the ground would be literally covt.Tc! with fish, enough to supply a heavy population for weeks, liut such luck is no reparation for the evil the winds do, and consequently the north ern half will never be inhabited by those who value their lives. Malarial and other atmospheric in fluences are best counteracted by keep ing the blood pure and vigorous with Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A little caution in this respect may prevent serious ill ness at this season. Ayer's Sarssp.T rilla is the best all the year-round med icine in existence. Pluck of an Opera Singer. HOW RL'HINI ONCE BROKE HIS COLLAR BONE, HUT FINISHED THE PERFOR MANCE. Fifty years ago European audiences listened with rapt admiration to Ru bini, a tenor of whom it was said that, though he himself could not act, he made his voice act for him, says a writer in the Philadelphia J'ress. The intensity of expression he gave to his voice, the judicious use of the tremolo, and the management of light and shade produced a thrilling effect. But his best vocal feat consisted in taking the bass of the upper stave without preparation, thus retaining it for a long time, and then letting it imper ceptibly die away. The listeners could hardly believe their ears. The adventurous are always on the edge of danger. On one occasion Rubini, after repeating this vocal feat, and being a second time encored, found himself unable to produce the expect ed note. Determined not to fail, he gathered up his vocal strength and made a supreme effort. The note came with its wonted power, brilliancy and duration, but at the cost of a broken collar bone. A surgeon ex amined the singer and found that the tension of the lungs had been too powerful for the strength of his collar bone. Two months' rest would be required to reunite the clavicle, and this the singer declared to be impos sible. as he had only finished several days of a long engagement. "Can I sing at all with a broken collar bone ?" he asked. "Yes : it will make no ditterence in your voice," answered the surgeon. but you must avoid ' lifting heavy weights, and any undue exertion above all, you must leave the B flat alone." ; ' : " ' Rubini continued to sing with a broken clavicle until the termination of the engagement.

According to an exchange, there is one editor in heaven, concerning whom the following explanation is made : "How he got there is not positively known, but it is conjectured that he passed himself off for a minister and stepped in unsuspected, when the dodge was discovered they searched the realm of felicity in all their length and breadth for a lawyer to draw up the papers for his ejectment, but they could not find one, and of course the editor held the fort." A. Wonderful Bird-Weaver. HOW THE IIALTIMOKE ORIOLE BUILDS HIS COZY SWINOINO NEST, The Baltimore oriole is a prince in .1 f - ' a nouse 01 prinnv s;tys a -vriter in Scribncr's Magazine. The family to which he belongs is composed of birds remarkable either for plumage, note, nest, eggs or habit. Each can claim something curious and original j but me oammore snines in every one of these particulars, for in plumage, song aim uiihk m; is an especially re markable bird. When the earl of Baltimore became the lord of Mary, laml his followers quickly noticed the correspondence between his heralrliV livery of orange and black and the orange anu ouck ot the splendid bird that so abounded in the new rstateu. so that, very naturally, the name "I5a1- umore Dira was suggested and has been borne ever since. His nest is one of the most wonder ful examples of bird weaving in exist ence, horsehair or strips of bark, close ly interwoven into a sort of sack, and so firmly knit together that it will boar a weight of twenty or thirty pounds. In the southern parts of this bird's range the nest is suspended from two or three terminal twigs for protection from numerous enemies, such as snakes, opossums and the like ; it is also made six or seven inches in depth to pre vent the eggs being thrown out by the high winds. Hut in the colder north, where tree-climbing foes are rare, it is hung, not at the extremity of the branches, but in a cluster of twigs thai aftords shelter. It is much- shallower than when exposed to the wind, but is Very thickly woven and lined with soft, warm materials. The oriole's loud, fife-like notes rincim? from the hiirh O O "" tree-tops in the morning are an ample reiutation ot me oui theory that mel ody and bright plumage have never been bestowed on the same bird.

The theories which have been ad . ... . . - . . vancea as to tne origin ot tne name Yankees are numerous. According to Ihierny, it was a corruption of J a Kin. a diminutive ot loi'n, which was a nickname given by the Dutch colo nists of New York to their neighbors in the Connecticut settlements. in a nistory 01 tne American war written by Dr. William Gordon and published in 1789 was another theory. Dr. Gordon said that it was a cant word in Cambridge, Mass., as early as 17 1 3, used to denote especial exel lence as a yankee good horse, van- kee good cider, etc. He supposed that it was originally a byword in the college, and being taken by the stu dents into parts of the country gradu ally obtained general currency in New England, and at length came to oe taken up in other parts of the country and applied to New Englanders as a term of slight reproach. Aubury, an English writer, says that it is derived from a Cherokee word eankee which signifies coward and slave. This epithet was bestowed up on the inhabitants of New England by the Virginians lor not assisting them in a war with the Cherokees. The most probable theory, however, is that advanced by Mr. Heckewelder that the Indians in endeavoring to pro nounce the word English, or Anglais, made it Yengees or Yangees and this originated the term.

We are forced to confess that we know of no remedy except to per suade them to subscribe, and this he had tried in vain, lie said that many times he did not read his paper at all, as others would call for it and never return it, and yet if he hinted that he objected to thus be imposed upon, he would be chuged with "picoyunish ness" and perhaps lose a frie'nd.

NINE YEAR-OLD DAVID CAPTURES J THIRTV TWO POUND CARP. An exciting combat between a nine year-old boy and a thiity-two pound uerman carp took place on James juoore s larm, near Unstol, says the Philadelphia Record. The Neshaminy creek in rainy seasons fills the ditches of adjacent farms with water from eighteen inches to two feet deep. The other day David Cherry, the young son of John Cherry, of tuis place, and two small companions went fishing up the creek. In one of the open ditches on the Moore farm the lads espied three huge carp flopping about, the water being too shallow for them to swim without greatly disturbing the surface. David, pluckier than his playmates, jumped into the ditch and seized the largest of the monster fish. The carp, nearly as big as the boy, had the advantage, being in its native element. Young Cherry had tight hold of it, but the carp plunged through the water and mud, dragging the lad behind. The boys on shore thought their companion would surely be drowned, for often his whole body was under water. At last the fish grew so weary in his mighty efforts to escape his captor that he could be thrown out upon the bank. Then all three boys jumped upon the carp and held him to the ground until he had gasped out his life. They lugged their trophy home and put it on the scales. The fish weighed thirtv-two pounds. . . w Bogus ! Botras white lead would hare no sale did It not afford makers a larger profit than Strictly Pure White Lead. .
